You know, everything you tell us will be used against you,” the interviewer on Russian TV warns Timur Shagivaleev, the man behind one of the country’s biggest drone factories.
The Alabuga factory in Tatarstan in southern russia, where Shahed drones are manufactured, has accelerated construction of hostels and production facilities.
Drones can be effective against tanks, but the U.S. has plans for how its tanks can both protect themselves against the little machines and shoot them down.
Russia is launching a record-breaking number of drones at Ukrainian cities. But these ones include new technology, like advanced satellite navigation systems and the capacity to carry a 90-kg munition.
Ukraine and NATO thus need far cheaper solutions compared to missiles like the Patriot to fight Shaheds, Maj. Gen. Christian Freuding said.
The plant manufactures countermeasure stations for front-line aircraft and is a major part of Russia's military-industrial complex.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged local manufacturers to ramp up production of drone interceptors to make 1,000 per day amid an announcement of a multi-billion dollar deal with the US.
